SHORTRIDGE DAILY ECHO
Vol.. 14. No. 146.
SHORTRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL, INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1912.
Two Cents
DATE ANNOUNCED FOR
STATE TRACK MEET
May 18 Chosen by State Athletic
Board—Date of Junior-Senior
Meet Considered
Mr. Moore, coach of the, Shortridge track team, announces that
May 18 has been named by the
State Athletic Board as the date
of the annual high school track
meet. The contest, as everyone
surely knows, will be held at
Lafayette.
In addition to this, Mr. Moore
is considering May 11 as the most
favorable and convenient date for
the Junior-Senior meet, but as
yet the time is uncertain, owing
to the fact that it has been
impossible to decide definitely
whether or not the day will be
agreeable to both parties. If the
eleventh is adopted it will throw
the inter-class event exactly one
week ahead of the state encounter,
there is no objection to that, however.
There remain just twenty-three
days until the eighteenth, and the
railroad fare to Lafayette will be
$1.95. Now all the student has
to do is contrive to save $0.08 Y
every day, so that, on the eventful
day he will have amassed the
necessary funds. Get busy!
ROOM ELEVEN PLAT TO
DE RIVEN MONDAY
Proceeds to be Used in Decorating
Mr. Otto's Room—School
Urged to Attend
"A D in Math," the play which
was written by members of Mr.
Otto's session room will be presented next Monday afternoon in
Caleb Mills HaU.
At the beginning of last semester
the idea of decorating room 11
was discussed and it was decided
that money could be best raised
by means of a play. Accordingly
a committee was appointed to
write a play which would be suitable. Rehearsals were begun recently and the play is now well
under way. Final rehearsals are
to be held this afternoon and tomorrow morning.
As the money received is to go
to a very good purpose it is urged
that all Shortridge attend and
help out the good cause.
RIALS' DEBATING CLUB
HOLDS OPEN MEETING
Large Audience Attends and
Listens to Debate on "Life in
City and Country"
The Girls'Debating Club held
.its first open ^meeting yesterday
afternoon in "room 3. The subject for discussion was: "Resolved,
That life in the country is preferable to life in the city."
The first speaker for the
affirmative was' Hortense Winks,
who brought^out the point that
more of the world's great men
and women come from the country than from the.city. She was
followed by Constance Bross,
first speaker for the negative,
who showed the civic improvement of a city. Florence Wood,
second speaker for the affirmative,
proved that the outdoor sports
of the country were far more
beneficial than the games indulged
in by children living jin'the city.
The second speaker on the
negative side was Klonnie Houck,
who declared that the educational
advantages of the city are superior
to those of the country. * Ruth
Cohn, the final participant for the
affirmative, refuted some of the
statements gggarding the inconvenience of country ..school life,
and likewise showed that there is
greater opportunity-for moral and
spiritual growth in rural than
there is in urban life. Mary Louse
Avery followed and pointed out
the industrial advantages, of the
city. The rebuttals were both
very good, especially the one given
by Hortense Winks. One of the
most interesting facts developed
was that "city dirt is much dirtier
than country dirt."
The debate being concluded,
the judges—Miss Donnan, Mr.
Livengood, and Mr. Schorling—
then withdrew and in a few
moments returned and declared
that the negative had won.
Ruth Smith has attended Shortridge for twelve weeks, yet in
that time she has failed to learn
that it is necessary to file a slip
when she wishes to rent a book
at the rental library.
"School is out on June second."
"Really? Naturally, June second
comes on Sunday. Take him to
the padded cell officer."
Frank Boyer actually hopes to
get through in Math. IV this term.
Well, he ought to, it's his third
attempt.
HIGH SCHOOL CLUB WILL
HAVE MEETIN6 THIS EVENING
Arrangements For Lafayette Trip
To Be Made—Any New
Members Are Welcome
All members and any new fellows are urged to be present at
the meeting of the High School
Club at the Y. M. C. A. this
evening. The meeting will be
held promptly at 6:00 p. m, After
the usual enjoyable supper, the
boys will discuss plans and arrangements for the Lafayette trip
on May 18. A special train will
be hired if enough people are
going. The arrangement whereby
the members of both schools will
go together seems to be a popular
one, and is a move in the right
direction. Any boy of the school
who wishes to become a member
of the club is invited to meet with
the fellows at the Y. M. C. A. this
evening. A good time is assured.
THOMAS ORCHESTRA TO
PLAY ON MAY 2
CHEMISTRY I CLASS HAS
PICTURE TAKEN
The chemistry classes have been
engaged in putting out fires this
week. Nothing dangerous, of
course, for the fires had been
previously prepared by Edith
Roberts, the chemistry assistant
and were extinguished before they
had really begun their existence,
It was while engaged in this
business that one class had its
picture taken by the representative of a local paper.
Mr. Wade is of the opinion that
this publicity is a good thing, for
it shows the general public that
there is a practical value to high
school subjects, and that the expense of supporting a high school
is really being repaid.
Douglas White, or is it Donald?,
declares that he is not a "scientific
celebrity."
So great is Garrett Olds's liking
for Latin that he even stays after
school to recite and study it.
(Don't throw it yet, Ike, he might
look around.)
Clifford Plummer swears that
a "parallelobiped" is a "two-footed
parallelogram."
Now that the baseball season
is fully launched, Ford Remley
says that he intends to bat
"1.000" the rest of the year. (Two
of you hold him, Ike,—one can
hold me!)

The above announcement is

all pupils in the city schools including the high schools will be
admitted to the afternoon concert
for 25 cents, exactly half price-
and may order tickets from the
Shortridge office. The afternoon
concert will be brilliant and will
appeal to the average person.
The "New World" symphony by
Dvorak will be the principal
feature. This work is of special
interest to us because the composer obtained the germs of his
musical themes from the plantation melodies of the South. These
melodies are not taken over
bodily, but parts of tunes such as
"Suwanee River" and "Swing Low
Sweet Chariot" and others are
plainly heard in the working out
of the composition.
